I love this jumper- it is very comfortable, and I have enjoyed wearing it a few times now :) I still need to make some more bottoms (trousers and skirts) to wear it with though ;)<br />And yes, thank goodness for acrylic and cotton (and bamboo etc) so I can still make these things!Spinnerettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18335780710513434157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2014582660745280934.post-41081940877191360242013-02-28T01:37:03.963-05:002013-02-28T01:37:03.963-05:00Hi sweet Rachel, I hope you don't me commentin...Hi sweet Rachel, I hope you don't me commenting on an older post. I've been having a lovely time reading through some of your back posts this evening and just had to say how much I adore this cute, sweetly beautiful 1940s sweater. (I'm allergic to wool, too, and have to avoid direct skin contact with it all times lest I break out in hives or a case contact dermatitis - not fun at all, as you know, but at least there are nice alternatives like cotton and acrylic out there to sub in for wool.)<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2014582660745280934.post-63237475558644737552012-06-28T19:41:17.603-04:002012-06-28T19:41:17.603-04:00Thank you Hannah- I do too!
